I have a dedicated htpc with a core i3 and GT 430 nvidia card. 3 of my most favorite blurays I own are VC-1 1080i, which means they are the only three I will need to either transcode to h264 or run to put the disc in the br player all the time. I would love to be able to have copies of these discs stored in their native format.
What I read is the crystalhd card can handle VC-1 i files, but I haven't heard of anyone purchasing one of these to put in a htpc just for this purpose. If I purchase one, and a mini pcie to pci express adapter, would I be able to bypass the ffmpeg limitation and play my VC-1 I files?
Has anyone done this?
Thanks!
